We're All Monsters

We are all monsters here
out to destroy each other
Looking for holes in the surroundings
Breaking from the inside ---------- sickness!

You are someone else's thought
lying there all broken and bleeding
Give us a chance to catch our breath
Wait for someone to pick you up-

All there in pieces marked with
labels and categories
Claws tear and reassign -----
you are nothing without subtitles!

We will wait right here
We will destroy ourselves
Before we take a step around you,
we will stomp you into pieces

And don't know that you are being picked apart? 
Why don't you know that you are being picked apart?

Listening for too long
Bite your tongue until it bleeds
Selective response -----
you are being torn apart

What you have in hiding,
unspoken but always there
All words now are true
We want to give them back to you
